What we fit in Clydebank

Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
Traffic lights. Red and green lights and warning beacons for drivers.
Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.

What this work can involve

Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.

Powered door rules that apply in Clydebank

Clydebank is in Scotland, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Keeping your site running during the work

Sites in and around Clydebank vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Door automation and controls in Clydebank: your questions

Can our door in Clydebank be automated?

If the door is in good mechanical order and a suitable motor is available, usually yes. We check balance, springs, cables, guides and the curtain or panels on survey, and recommend repair or replacement first if needed.

Which activation would suit our Clydebank site?

It depends on who uses the door. Buttons suit staff, remotes suit drivers, pull cords and loops suit forklifts, and radar suits mixed traffic. We look at your traffic on survey and recommend a set-up.

How much does it cost to make a door electric in Clydebank?

Our guide price for a manual-to-electric conversion is £1,195 to £3,195 ex VAT, including motor, control panel, basic controls and commissioning. Extra controls and safety devices are priced separately, and your fixed price in Clydebank follows a free survey.
